Bomford Turner have recently celebrated their 50-year relationship with their distributor for France, Sarl Quitte et Fils of Niort.

The Quitte company was started 60 years ago by Mr. Roger Quitte to supply agricultural machinery to the French market, both as a dealer and as an importer. The relationship between the Quitte company and Bomford began 50 years ago, with sales all over France of the yellow reach arm mowers.

This was to be the foundation of what has turned out to be a long and lasting relationship, with many 1000s of reach arm mowers and hedge cutters sold, in every region of France, through many generations of farmers and contractors.

Mr. Didier Quitte, Roger’s son, is now running the company – and with great success. The business has navigated through the difficult political, and economic changes that not only have affected France, but the wider markets. This resolve from the Quitte company has seen record sales in 2017 as the company approached its 50th year trading with Bomford Turner Ltd.

James Cuthbertson, Director of Sales & Marketing at Bomford said, “We felt that as a mark of this achievement we should give Didier, and the Quitte company a special gift - and we presented a Bomford Raven reach arm mower painted in Gold and Blue to mark this 50 year anniversary.

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank, Mr.Didier Quitte, his family, employees and all of our loyal customers in France for this momentous occasion.”
